When we realize what we were before Christ and what we deserved in that state, it further magnifies the enormity of the gospel for us.

The evidence of justification by faith is the ongoing work of sanctification through the Holy Spirit.

A Christian who does not pray is like prince in beggars clothes who stands but a few inches from His father's throne and yet does not ask.

Entering in the narrow gate is allowing Him to define your life, and not in general terms. See, there's your problem. 'Oh, Jesus is everything to me, and Jesus is Lord.' Okay, specifically though, explain to me what that means: what has it cost you, how have you changed your life from the course the rest of the world is walking in?

If someone is truly converted, they will publicly confess Christ in word and deed. That does not mean presenting them in front of the church on the night of their supposed conversion.

We cannot convince a man to believe any more than we can raise the dead. Such things are the work of God's Spirit. Men are brought to faith only through the supernatural working of God, and He has promised to work-not through human wisdom or intellectual expertise, but through the preaching of Christ crucified and resurrected from the dead!

Everywhere......everyone you meet....is a potential brother or sister in CHRIST.
